Network apparatus that sends back equipment information, method of controlling the apparatus, and storage medium

摘要

A network apparatus which enables, even when different information processing apparatuses use software programs different in device recognition capability, each information processing apparatus to easily acquire equipment information from the network apparatus and manage the network apparatus. The apparatus is connectable to a management terminal via a network and capable of sending back a response containing equipment information in response to an equipment information acquisition request from the terminal. Upon receipt of the request from the terminal, the apparatus determine whether or not the request contains a plurality of identical object identifiers. When the request contains a plurality of identical object identifiers, the apparatus decides whether or not to send back different equipment information items in association with the respective identical object identifiers. Then, the network apparatus sends back a response packet containing the equipment information according to the decision.
